Is there something wrong in praying?
Good morning friends,
If He knows everything,
What is the use of praying?
When silence conveys all,
What’s the point in saying?
Praying is acknowledgement by us,
That we are feeble He is strong.
So in asking Him to grant us strength,
We ain’t doing anything wrong.
He must do things at His level,
We must do things at ours.
There is no comparison or use,
In trying to match His powers.
“God, until I merge with you,
I pray to you for everything.
I am just an ordinary citizen,
You are the ultimate king.”
“I also pray that you’ll give me good sense,
About what should I pray for,
And if something is not worth praying,
Please, God, kindly ignore.”
Let Him judge that!

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.

Thank you, Ravi. While religion is a personal matter, prayer is an important tool, that helps us overcome our fears,and stresses. There are a large number of so called free thinkers, here. I engage them to know what they do when they are stressed some of them ahewouahly say that they look for strength from the supreme being even though they do not believe in any God.
Thank you, Sir. Yes,prayer is also a great way to destress.
